Roger Ray

Barton

Roger Ray Barton left this world on February 23, 2025, with his daughters by his side.

Roger was born November 14, 1961, to Rayburn and Eunice Barton.

He is survived by his daughters, Brandy Barton and Amber Nichols (husband Cody), his grandchildren, Michaela, AJ, Conner, Drayven, Leighton, and Brynlee, and his great-grandchildren, Kash and Hudson. He also leaves behind his sister, Jennette Barnes (husband Larry), his brother Gary Barton (wife Paula), and a host of extended family and friends who held a special place in his heart.

Roger had a beautiful smile and a way of making those around him feel welcomed and loved. He was many things to many people— a devoted father, loving brother, loyal friend, — but the role he held closest to his heart was, "Papa".  His grandchildren were his biggest blessings, and he was endlessly proud of them. His love for his family was steady and reliable, and his happiest moments were those spent surrounded by them.

Roger loved being outdoors, whether he was camping with his family, floating the black river, hunting, fishing, gigging, or dove hunting with his buddies. He also enjoyed poker on Friday nights with friends and his son-in-law, and watching football.

Recently Roger accepted Jesus into his heart and was baptized. While we mourn his loss, we find comfort in knowing his parents stood hand in hand with our Lord, joyfully welcoming him home.

Roger will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His legacy will live on in his family and in the stories and memories he left behind.
